Anglerfish
Found across 17 maps in oceans, deep rivers, and underwater caves. Green zones have the highest spawn density. Each species has a population cap per area, so wiping out other creatures nearby can trigger new Anglerfish spawns.
The Anglerfish, a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It belongs to the Farmer category.
At 450 base HP, the Anglerfish is reasonably durable. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Anglerfish brings solid damage output to the table. Stamina sits at 240 base, providing decent staying power. A base Weight of 350 means generous inventory space.
You'll need to knock the Anglerfish unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Anglerfish is well-suited for deep-sea exploration, cave diving, and ocean resource runs. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between -75°C and 75°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 8 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.17 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
